PAROOKAVILLE 2026, Weeze, Germany
Overview
PAROOKAVILLE 2026 returns to Airport Weeze from July 17 to 19 for its tenth anniversary, transforming a former military airbase into a massive, temporary “City of Dreams.” This isn’t just a music festival; it is a fully functioning city where attendees, known as citizens, receive “visas” to enter and experience a world built on freedom, love, and madness. The city features its own town hall, church, post office, and supermarket, creating an immersive playground that serves as one of Germany’s largest and most creative electronic music spectacles.
The 2026 edition promises an even more elaborate production, featuring over 300 artists performing across more than ten meticulously designed stages. From the breathtaking Mainstage, which is redesigned every year as a new city landmark, to industrial warehouses and intimate club settings, the festival covers every sub-genre of electronic music. With a daily capacity of 75,000 citizens and a massive campsite known as the “Campsite Districts,” PAROOKAVILLE remains a global pilgrimage site for those seeking a unique blend of high-energy raving and theatrical storytelling.
Event Highlights
- The Living City Concept: Immerse yourself in a functional city complete with a Town Hall for “visas,” a Church for festival weddings, and a PENNY supermarket for campsite supplies.
- Massive Mainstage Production: Witness one of Europe’s largest stage constructions, a monumental structure that changes annually to tell a new chapter of the legend of Bill Parooka.
- Diverse Musical Spectrum: Dance to a world-class lineup featuring headliners like Axwell, The Chainsmokers, and Charlotte de Witte across stages ranging from EDM to Hardstyle and Techno.
- Exclusive Pre-Party Events: Citizens with camping visas gain early access on Thursday for a legendary warm-up party at the Desert Valley and PENNY DJ Tower stages.
Why Attend
PAROOKAVILLE is the ultimate destination for music lovers who want a festival that feels like an alternate reality.

FAQ's
What is the minimum age to enter the City of Dreams?
The festival is strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and there are absolutely no exceptions made for minors even with guardians. Every citizen must present a valid government-issued photo ID or passport at the check-in counters to receive their festival wristband. Security personnel perform thorough age checks at all entrance gates to ensure compliance with German safety regulations and licensing.
How does the personalization of tickets work?
All PAROOKAVILLE tickets, or "visas," are strictly personalized and must match the name on your official identification document. If you buy a ticket from someone else, you must use the official Resale Shop to re-personalize the name to avoid being denied entry. Digital tickets are accepted on smartphones, but the display must be undamaged to ensure the barcode can be scanned by the gate systems.
Can I leave the festival site and come back later?
Citizens with a Full Weekend Visa and Campsite access can move freely between the city and the campsite throughout the weekend. However, standard Day Visa holders usually have a "one-way" entry policy, meaning re-entry is not permitted once you leave the city gates. Make sure to bring everything you need for the day, such as a power bank or light jacket, before entering the main festival area.
What kind of food and supplies are available at the campsite?
The "Base Village" features a massive PENNY supermarket that offers food, cold drinks, and camping essentials at regular retail prices. This allows campers to travel light and buy everything from fresh bread to ice cubes directly on the festival grounds. Numerous food courts in the city also offer a wide variety of international cuisines, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
What should I do in case of a thunderstorm or emergency?
The festival site is an open airfield, so in the event of a storm, citizens are instructed to seek shelter in their cars or designated zones. Tents and pavilions are not considered safe during lightning; the festival uses a sophisticated weather monitoring system to alert guests via the app. Medical teams and paramedics are available around the clock at several "First Aid" stations located in both the city and the campsite.
